But honestly-DG, last night, displayed DFXI's chart as having an identical price rise and volume spike on both Wednesday and Thursday. Now that I've looked at the new and updated DFXI, here is what I think: Whoever first mentioned that DFXI looks like a breakout is (in my opinion) right. Now, as you suggest, whether the breakout will fail or not is another question. However, notice that it fell from its high to close at the left lip pivot-high. Someone is selling into the strength. It could be normal profit taking-or, this seems reasonable, institutions could be selling to those who have to buy due to the high short interest (ie. the insititution are selling into strength). Whether the DFXI bull (gap up on the breakout, and earnings are due out in about 2 weeks-which rise perhaps indicates that someone knows that earnings are going to be at least up to snuff); or the DFXI bear (the Market could put a monkey wrench into many stocks that are breaking out) will get the upper hand remains to be seen (at least from my perch). jans In a message dated 3/30/2002 11:23:11 PM Eastern Standard Time, kmalm@earthlink.net writes: << Hmmm...DFXI was up nearly 8% on the day, finishing near the high...so I'd say it did well.

It did gap up (and in my opinion broke-out) on Wednesday. However, the question now should be whether the breakout is going to fail or not. Without my going into how I feel the Market will behave, the issue seems to be: Are the big institutions selling their DFXI into strength (those who were short no doubt bought on the breakout, but the stock on Thursday never really went anywhere even though volume was tremendous)? According to WON (as I remember it) if the stock doesn't continue to go up the next day after the breakout, the stock should most likely be sold. - - - -To subscribe/unsubscribe, email "majordomo@xmission.com" - -In the email body, write "subscribe canslim" or - -"unsubscribe canslim".

Some years ago, they refused to accept my check for payment, claiming it was an "out of state" check. Granted, the hometown of my credit union is Norfolk, VA, but there are two local branches in Dade County. I insisted on speaking with a manager, who stuck by the cashier's interpretation. So I walked out and never went back. My son has been trying to buy a CD burner for over a week on the net. Last time he tried, BestBuy's site claimed my credit card was "over the limit", which was not even remotely true. Then they claimed (after being contacted by phone) that maybe it was the hour of the day and the credit union was running end of day processing, blocking their access to confirm credit. Also not true, as I had no trouble getting into the account at the same time. Today, in the middle of Easter Sunday afternoon, with all the malls and stores locked up tight, including Best Buy (never realized Easter was such a big holiday), my son again tried to buy online from Best Buy, and got the exact same result. Again, phoning did no good, nor were they willing to honor the price of a week previous. While still on the phone with BBY, a friend sent him the URL for L-Buy.com, where the price was $25 cheaper than what BBY would do, and $5 cheaper than BBY offered a week ago. My son offered the site to the BBY representative as proof that their new price was too high. She still would not process the order by hand, nor honor last week's price when they refused the order. Too bad, no surprise, his order was accepted immediately by L-Buy, for shipment within 2 days. And Best Buy has now lost another previously loyal customer who was not willing to accept my opinion and attitude towards the company, until experiencing it first hand. Bottom line for me, aside from my son's illusions being shattered about Best Buy, is that their customer service practices are endemic to the corporation, and no better than they were some years ago. A retailer cannot survive in business, much less in difficult economic times, without good customer service.

His discouraged wife watches TV all day and his three unhappy teenage kids have dropped out of high school to hang around with the local toughs.

Without an e-mail address you can hardly expect to be employed by a high-tech firm. Good day." Stunned, the man leaves. Not knowing where to turn and having $10 in his wallet, he walks past a farmers' market and sees a stand selling 25 lb crates of beautiful red tomatoes. He buys a crate, carries it to a busy corner and displays the tomatoes. In less than 2 hours he sells all the tomatoes and makes 100% profit. Repeating the process several times more that day, he ends up with almost $100 and arrives home that night with several bags of groceries for his family. During the night he decides to repeat the tomato business the next day. By the end of the week he is getting up early every day and working into the night. He multiplies his profits quickly. Early in the second week he acquires a cart to transport several boxes of tomatoes at a time, but before a month is up he sells the cart to buy a broken-down pickup truck. At the end of a year he owns three old trucks. His two sons have left their neighborhood gangs to help him with the tomato business, his wife is buying the tomatoes, and his daughter is taking night courses at the community college so she can keep books for him. By the end of the second year he has a dozen very nice used trucks and employs fifteen previously unemployed people, all selling tomatoes. He continues to work hard. Time passes and at the end of the fifth year he owns a fleet of nice trucks and a warehouse which his wife supervises, plus two tomato farms that the boys manage. The tomato company's payroll has put hundreds of homeless and jobless people to work. His daughter reports that the business grossed a million dollars. Planning for the future, he decides to buy some life insurance. Consulting with an insurance adviser, he picks an insurance plan to fit his new circumstances. Then the adviser asks him for his e-mail address in order to send the final documents electronically. When the man replies that he doesn't have time to mess with a computer and has no e-mail address, the insurance man is stunned, "What, you don't have e-mail? No computer? No Internet? Just think where you would be today if you'd had all of that five years ago!" "Ha!" snorts the man. "If I'd had e-mail five years ago I would be sweeping floors at Microsoft and making $5.15 an hour."
